Bright People Foods and the third parties we work with (e.g., our service providers and business partners) may collect information from the computer, tablet, phone or another device that you use to access our websites (“Websites”) or that you use to open an email or click on an advertisement from us (“Communications and Advertisements”) (Websites and Communications and Advertisements are collectively referred to herein as the “Sites”).  This information may include your IP address, geolocation data, device identifier, browser characteristics, operating system details, language preference, referring URLs, length of visits, pages viewed, website activity, submitted form data, and other similar types of information.

This Cookie Statement applies to any visitor who engages with the Sites, outlines the cookies and other collection technologies we may use, and explains the choices visitors have.  For further information about our data collection and sharing practices, please review our Privacy Policy.

1. Overview of Cookies and Other Collection Technologies

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your browser or device by websites, applications, online media, and advertisements. They are used for various purposes, including but not limited to authenticating users, remembering user preferences and settings, determining content popularity, delivering and measuring the effectiveness of advertising campaigns, analyzing site traffic and trends, and generally understanding the online behaviors and interests of users who interact with the Sites.

There are different types of cookies, such as “first-party cookies” and “third-party cookies.” First-party cookies are cookies served by the entity that operates the domain you are visiting. Third-party cookies are cookies served by the organizations that are not operating the domain you are visiting.

Cookies may also have different durations. Session cookies last only while your browser is open, and are automatically deleted when you close your browser session.  Persistent cookies may survive after your browser is closed. For example, persistent cookies may recognize your device when you re-open your browser and browse the Internet again.

Other collection technologies we may use in connection with our Sites include:

1. Web beacons or tags (small images embedded into websites or emails that send information about your computer, tablet, phone, or other device when you visit our Websites or click on an Advertisement from us);

2. Websites and log files (which we tend to create automatically in connection with access and use of our website, and the items you purchase);

3. Third-party advertisement and analytics services – including but not limited to Google Analytics (opt-out by installing Google Analytics’ opt-out browser add-on and opt-out of interest-based Google ads using Google’s Ads Settings), Facebook Custom Audiences and Instagram Ads – to help us understand and analyze how visitors use the online Sites and serve ads on our behalf across the Internet.

4. Flash cookies and local storage collection technologies (which may be placed using Adobe Flash software—learn more about privacy and storage settings for Flash cookies here);

5. Application programming interfaces (APIs), which may enable the third parties we work with to collect information directly from our Websites; and

6. Other technologies (which may be similar to or different than the methods noted above).

1. Cookie Types and Purposes

While the cookies used in connection with our Sites may change from time to time, they generally fall into the below categories:

You have the right to choose whether or not to accept cookies. However, they are an important part of how the Sites work, so you should be aware that if you choose to refuse or remove cookies, it could affect the availability and functionality of the Sites.

Most web browsers are set to accept cookies by default. If you prefer, you can usually choose to set your browser to remove or reject browser cookies. To do so, please follow the instructions provided by your browser.
